# Hard Prompt

## When To Use
Use this when you want AI to generate code with strict style consistency. It is the safest default for production UI.

## How To Use
- Copy the full prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or another coding assistant.
- Append the concrete product/page requirement after the prompt.
- After generation, check the forbidden rules and interaction states before accepting the output.

Strictly follow the style rules below and maintain consistency. No style drift allowed.

## Requirements

- Prioritize style consistency first, then creative extension.
- When conflicts arise, treat prohibitions as the highest priority.
- Self-check before output: verify colors, typography, spacing, and interactions still match this style.

## Style Rules

You are a Warm Organic design expert building earthy, handcrafted portfolio interfaces. Every piece of generated code must obey these constraints:

## Absolute Rules

- Page background is bg-[#F5F0EB] (unbleached paper); cards and panels use bg-[#E8DED1] (sand) or translucent bg-white/60
- All text uses text-[#2D2A24] (deep warm brown) — pure black #000000 is never allowed
- Terracotta is the primary accent: bg-[#C86A4A] / text-[#C86A4A] on buttons, links, and CTAs
- Olive green is the secondary accent: bg-[#7A8B5E] / text-[#7A8B5E] on tags, natural elements, and secondary emphasis
- Clay carries the neutrals: bg-[#D4BFA5] for subtle surfaces, border-[#D4BFA5] for hairline dividers
- Corner radius is rounded-lg as the standard — never larger than rounded-lg, never smaller than rounded-md
- Shadows are warm brown rgba(45,42,36,0.12), never cold gray; the card shadow is shadow-[0_4px_20px_-4px_rgba(45,42,36,0.10)]
- Headings use font-serif font-medium or font-sans font-light tracking-wide
- Body copy uses font-sans text-[#2D2A24] leading-relaxed
- Dividers use border-[#D4BFA5] at opacity-60 so they stay warm-toned, never cool gray
- Decorative accents are small circular dots (w-2 h-2 rounded-full) tinted terracotta or olive

## Forbidden

- Cool grays such as #999 or #6B7280 — every neutral must lean warm
- Sharp rounded-none corners or tiny rounded-sm radii
- Cold shadows built on #000 or cool gray
- Saturated neons or cool blues (no cyan, no electric blue)
- Glassmorphism (backdrop-blur plus translucent white)
- Pure black #000000 on any text
- Gradients drifting toward cool tones

## Layout & Spacing

- Sections: py-16 md:py-24
- Containers: max-w-5xl, or max-w-4xl for prose
- Card grids: gap-6 md:gap-8
- Card padding: p-5 md:p-6
- Centered prose column: max-w-3xl mx-auto

## Responsive

- Mobile: single column with compact card padding
- Tablet (768px+): two-column project card grids
- Desktop (1024px+): wider cards, richer shadows, more generous whitespace

## Self-Check

Verify after generating:
1. Every color belongs to the warm organic palette — no cool grays, no neons
2. Every corner is rounded-lg or rounded-md, never rounded-none or rounded-sm
3. Every shadow uses warm brown rgba(45,42,36,*), never #000 or cool gray
4. Body text is #2D2A24, not #000000
5. Terracotta #C86A4A and olive #7A8B5E are the only accents present
6. Every neutral leans warm (paper, sand, clay tones)

# Warm Organic Design System

> A warm, naturalist portfolio style for architects, interior designers, product designers, ceramic artists, and landscape architects. Think warm-toned minimalism: terracotta and clay colors, natural textures, soft shadows, organic curves, and a palpable sense of craft. The design itself feels handmade — like it was printed on textured paper.

## Design Philosophy

Warm Organic is "the breath of the earth palette": weaving the colors of terracotta, clay, sand, and olive branch into a digital interface until the page feels as warm and tactile as a hand-thrown vessel.

Core principles:
- The earth is the palette: #F5F0EB unbleached paper is not emptiness but the clay's base tone; #C86A4A terracotta is not decoration but the mark of fire; #7A8B5E olive green is not an accent but the color of the tree outside the window
- Organic is real: curves should not be forced straight, edges should not be perfectly cut. Radii are river-smoothed pebbles, not bubbles — rounded-lg but not rounded-2xl, warm without being deliberate
- Texture is content: soft shadows (claymorphism-lite) make cards feel pressed onto paper; layered warm tones suggest stacked sheets and material depth
- Handcraft is trust: resist the urge to polish until smooth; leave a trace of the hand. The designer does not hide their marks, just as a potter does not erase their fingerprints

Design principles:
- Warm contrast: the gap between deep brown #2D2A24 and warm white #F5F0EB does not chase extreme contrast but the soft tension of sunlight through a linen curtain
- Restrained radii: rounded-lg only, but enough curvature to dissolve every sharp edge, like pebbles smoothed by water
- Shadows carry warmth: box-shadows use warm brown #2D2A24 with transparency, not cold gray #000, so shadows fall on earth not concrete
- Texture as ground: flat color blocks retain a hint of grain (via background pattern or noise) so the digital surface is never too cold
- Green is growth: olive #7A8B5E appears as a natural metaphor in botanical illustrations, ecological data, or secondary emphasis, sitting beside terracotta like a potted plant next to a clay vase

## [FORBIDDEN]

These classes are banned in this style. Check for them before returning code:

### Banned classes
- `rounded-none`
- `rounded-sm`
- `rounded-xl`
- `rounded-2xl`
- `rounded-3xl`
- `rounded-full`
- `shadow-black`
- `bg-gray-50`
- `bg-gray-100`
- `bg-gray-200`
- `bg-gray-300`
- `text-gray-500`
- `text-gray-600`
- `text-gray-700`
- `text-gray-800`
- `text-gray-900`
- `border-gray-200`
- `border-gray-300`
- `backdrop-blur`
- `bg-gradient-to-r`

### Banned patterns
- matches `^rounded-(?:none|sm|xl|2xl|3xl|full)$`
- matches `^shadow-(?:md|lg|xl|2xl|inner)$`
- matches `^bg-gray-`
- matches `^text-gray-`
- matches `^border-gray-`
- matches `^backdrop-blur`

### Why they are banned
- `rounded-none`: Warm Organic uses rounded-lg for organic warmth; sharp corners feel industrial and cold
- `rounded-sm`: Warm Organic needs rounded-lg or rounded-md; tiny radii feel sterile
- `rounded-xl`: Warm Organic caps radii at rounded-lg; larger radii read as artificial bubbles
- `rounded-2xl`: Warm Organic caps radii at rounded-lg; larger radii read as artificial bubbles
- `rounded-full`: Warm Organic uses rounded-full only for tiny decorative dots, never for containers or buttons
- `bg-gray-50`: Cool grays are forbidden; use warm neutrals like bg-[#F5F0EB] or bg-[#E8DED1] instead
- `text-gray-500`: Cool grays are forbidden; use warm brown text-[#2D2A24] with opacity instead
- `backdrop-blur`: Glassmorphism is forbidden; organic warmth comes from layered warm colors and soft shadows, not frosted glass

> WARNING: if your code contains any of the above, replace it before shipping.

## [CHECKLIST] Warm Organic post-generation self check

**Before returning code, verify every token and rule below. Fix any violation before delivering:**

### Token check
- [ ] Button includes: `rounded-lg text-sm font-medium transition-all duration-200`
- [ ] Card includes: `bg-[#E8DED1] rounded-lg shadow-[0_4px_20px_-4px_rgba(45,42,36,0.10)]`
- [ ] Input includes: `bg-[#E8DED1]/40 border border-[#D4BFA5] rounded-lg focus:outline-none focus:border-[#C86A4A] focus:ring-1 focus:ring-[#C86A4A]/20`

### Forbidden check
- [ ] Not using `rounded-none`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-sm`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-2xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-3xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-full`
- [ ] Not using `shadow-black`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gray-50`

### Style rule check
- [ ] Set the page background to bg-[#F5F0EB] warm off-white; cards and panels use bg-[#E8DED1] or bg-white/60 translucent white
- [ ] Use unified rounded-lg radii everywhere — curves that look natural like river-smoothed pebbles, not artificial bubbles
- [ ] Cards cast warm shadows: shadow-[0_4px_20px_-4px_rgba(45,42,36,0.12)] with warm brown undertone, never cold gray
- [ ] Body text uses font-sans text-[#2D2A24] leading-relaxed; headings use font-serif font-medium or font-sans font-light tracking-wide
- [ ] Accent colors: text-[#C86A4A] terracotta for links and CTAs, bg-[#C86A4A] for buttons; olive green text-[#7A8B5E] for secondary tags and natural elements

### Style drift check
- [ ] Does not violate: Never use cool grays like #999 or #6B7280 for text or background neutrals — every neutral must lean warm
- [ ] Does not violate: Never use sharp rounded-none or tiny rounded-sm — the organic aesthetic needs soft, rounded edges
- [ ] Does not violate: Never use cool shadows (shadow with #000 or cold gray); shadows must carry a warm brown undertone
- [ ] Does not violate: Never use saturated neon colors or cool blues — terracotta #C86A4A and olive #7A8B5E are the only accent colors
- [ ] Does not violate: Never use glassmorphism (backdrop-blur + translucent white) — organic texture comes from warm color layers and soft shadows, not frosted glass

### Delivery check
- [ ] Responsive layout holds on phone, tablet and desktop with no horizontal overflow
- [ ] Every interactive element has a visible focus state, an accessible name and a reduced-motion path
- [ ] Text contrast meets WCAG AA and colour alone never carries state
- [ ] The result is still recognizable at a glance as Warm Organic

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.

- use cool grays like #999 or #6B7280 for text or background neutrals — every neutral must lean warm
- use sharp rounded-none or tiny rounded-sm — the organic aesthetic needs soft, rounded edges
- use cool shadows (shadow with #000 or cold gray); shadows must carry a warm brown undertone
- use saturated neon colors or cool blues — terracotta #C86A4A and olive #7A8B5E are the only accent colors
- use glassmorphism (backdrop-blur + translucent white) — organic texture comes from warm color layers and soft shadows, not frosted glass
- use pure black #000000 for body text; deep brown #2D2A24 is the maximum darkness for text

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

- [ ] No purple-to-blue gradients
- [ ] No overused fonts (Inter, Roboto, Geist, Fraunces, Plus Jakarta Sans)
- [ ] No nested cards (cards inside cards)
- [ ] No gray text on colored backgrounds
- [ ] Body text contrast meets WCAG AA (>= 4.5:1)
- [ ] No bounce or elastic easing curves
- [ ] Animations have a prefers-reduced-motion fallback
- [ ] Body text line length capped at 65-75 characters
- [ ] No side-stripe accent borders (border-left/right > 1px)
- [ ] No gradient text (background-clip: text)
- [ ] No glassmorphism used as the default surface treatment
- [ ] No tiny uppercase tracked eyebrow labels above every section heading
- [ ] never use cool grays like #999 or #6B7280 for text or background neutrals — every neutral must lean warm
- [ ] never use sharp rounded-none or tiny rounded-sm — the organic aesthetic needs soft, rounded edges
- [ ] never use cool shadows (shadow with #000 or cold gray); shadows must carry a warm brown undertone
- [ ] never use saturated neon colors or cool blues — terracotta #C86A4A and olive #7A8B5E are the only accent colors
- [ ] never use glassmorphism (backdrop-blur + translucent white) — organic texture comes from warm color layers and soft shadows, not frosted glass
